Citation needed. The junctions in cardiac cells make electrical signals propagate through them all, so acting independently isn’t something that’s normal. There’s two loops, but one pump. It’s a single system.
- Comment on why does alcohol stop my back pain but medicine doesn't? 2 days ago:
all the “positive effects” disappeared over time and i was just left with those meh ones
This is the case for every single drug I’ve tried, and one of my hobbies is treating Erowid like a Pokédex.

Charcoal grill, successfully assembled and cooked on while intoxicated with multiple substances.

- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 5 days ago:
a societal acceptance of the absence of free will removes the burden of guilt
Those cops, judges, lawyers, jail guards etc also don’t have free will, so while maybe the burden of guilt is gone, the legal repercussions still would exist all the same.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 5 days ago:
Yeah, this literally is how it works, like to a T.
- Comment on IT’S THE FEDS! 6 days ago:
I do appreciate how strong the magnets are. The force between a two 1cm square steel plates in a 2T field is about 159N or 36 lbs of force.
I do not think the contact area between parts of the trigger / sear etc and striker / whatever else are more than 1cm square, they’re also lubricated. Given the orientation of the pistol could also change, making the friction force less effective, I think it’s possible that a pistol is able to fire after being sucked into the MRI.
- Comment on IT’S THE FEDS! 6 days ago:
Most modern pistols are striker fired not hammer fired.
I’d venture a guess nothing out of the ordinary happens thanks to lube and springs. Gun fires.
- Comment on IT’S THE FEDS! 6 days ago:
If there’s anything I’ve learned from my weed growing hobby, it’s that nobody cares unless you’re doing it on a near industrial scale, like converting an entire floor or house to a grow.
A hot tub requires way more power than your average hobbyist grow op these days. I can’t imagine a reptile setup is requiring 10+ kWh/day (what a fucked unit that is btw)
- Comment on the real struggle is choosing which to replace 1 week ago:
I have a single alarm set. I came to this after years of pointless snoozing.
If you need to get up at a certain time, get up at that time. If you don’t need to get up at a certain time, just turn off the alarm. Snooze is bullshit, fuck snooze. You gain nothing from snooze. If you really must lay around half conscious in bed, just set an alarm like an hour before the real alarm. I just don’t understand the multiple alarm people. Do you really gain all that much from turning off your alarm 6 times before you actually get up versus an entire hour to chill before the actual alarm?
I hate the sound of the alarm and I absolutely don’t want to hear it, or lay there anticipating it. One annoying ring of the alarm is all it takes, more annoying rings just make a shittier start to the day IMO.
- Comment on Why is it okay for shit to go down the drain but not food? 1 week ago:
This is not how lipids are metabolized. They are not converted to glucose. Fats are broken down to monoglycerides to be absorbed, recombined to triglycerides and eventually chylomicrons, and transported to adipose tissue.
- Comment on Why is it okay for shit to go down the drain but not food? 1 week ago:
What’s the point of a garbage disposal if you can’t put food in there? You don’t need that to make liquids go down the drain.
- Comment on YSK how to unclog a toilet 1 week ago:
Closing the flapper stops the water in the tank from going into the bowl.
This is completely unnecessary IMO. You stop the water in the tank from going into the bowl by not continuing to flush a clearly clogged toilet. There’s no issue with the flapper in this scenario and it will automatically seal in a few seconds from water pressure.
- Comment on YSK how to unclog a toilet 1 week ago:
You stop that by shutting the water off, not by manually closing the flapper. It’s a bizarre step and absolutely not necessary to clear a clog.
- Comment on YSK how to unclog a toilet 1 week ago:
Right, I am aware of all this.
Why would step one be to manually close the flapper? The water level will do this automatically in a couple seconds, unless there’s a hidden step 0, shut off the water supply. This also makes adjusting the flapper pointless.
I just don’t get it. There’s no point.
- Comment on YSK how to unclog a toilet 1 week ago:
I get that. That’s a totally different scenario than “clogged toilet”.
- Comment on YSK how to unclog a toilet 1 week ago:
Those are the only toilets I’m familiar with, at least with regards to maintenance and troubleshooting.
I’ve cleared a lot of clogged shitters, not once have I had to ensure the flapper is down in the reservoir. That’s “why won’t it stop running” not “why won’t it flush”.
- Comment on YSK how to unclog a toilet 1 week ago:
Why wouldn’t it close normally like it always does? There’s no issue with the reservoir here.

Settings > playback > radio > include external media
“Consider tracks from shared servers and TiDAL”
Also if you just mean multiple libraries like switching between them, click at the top. I’ve got 4 of my own and 1 from a friend here.
- Comment on Spotify caught hosting hundreds of fake podcasts that advertise selling drugs 2 weeks ago:
Plexamp does a pretty good job with the radio features, granted you will have to torrent stuff you’re not necessarily familiar with first. If you have a few friends who also share their music libraries with you it can really help by including their tracks in your radios.
- Comment on This one we can all agree on 2 weeks ago:
Poop has been used historically as a building material (eg wattle and daub) and is fine for load bearing applications provided you do the math.

- Comment on Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College 3 weeks ago:
The best part about AI is people are shooting themselves in the foot using it at school, where you’re supposed to learn things, and it will make the rest of us not nearly as dependent on a LLM rise to the top. I truly do not understanding cheating in college. If you’re not learning, what’s the fucking point? How well are you going to perform without access to that LLM? Good grades are not the point of college.

A cursory search shows rail in rural areas is $2 million per mile and a highway is $4-10 million per mile.
- Comment on Your Phone Isn’t Eavesdropping on You to Show You Ads (It’s Worse Than That) 5 weeks ago:
This is what I’ve been saying for years. You don’t need to listen to someone’s microphone to serve eerily relevant ads. I’ve heard people commonly discussing how they talked about something and saw an ad for it later. You’re already being tracked everywhere and a bit of confirmation bias is all you need to focus in on the times it works. It’s like that story of the prenatal vitamins being recommended to that woman who didn’t realize she’s pregnant.
This isn’t to say that I don’t believe someone can’t possibly turn on the mic in a targeted attack, but few of us are having conversations that are that important. It’s way easier to target you other ways using data that’s much more available.
- Comment on How do I download a blob: video? 5 weeks ago:
Hm, still might be worth a shot. There are ways to grab private posts when you’re logged in by using a browser console and finding the line for the video but I’m kinda too dumb for that. I’d probably just use a screen recorder at that point. I don’t need a Snapchat web-dl.
- Comment on How do I download a blob: video? 5 weeks ago:
You just said web though, right? Not the app. There’s downloaders for everything if you have a link to a public post.
- Comment on How do I download a blob: video? 5 weeks ago:
For social media videos I always just search for <service> video downloader, paste the link to the post and get the video. I do this for Facebook, instagram, and Reddit. I don’t want some plugin I’ll use rarely and the web downloaders seem to work fine.
